A summertime favorite when mint in the garden is out of control. These are the measurements to make a pitcher in a pinch- not the authentic cuban recipe with sugar crystals!

• 1 1/2 cup mint leaves
• 2 c lime juice
• 1 1/3 c simple syrup
• 3 c rum
• 6 c soda water

Crush mint leaves in morter & pestle, add rum. Transfer rum and some of mint to pitcher, add the rest of the ingredients, mix and enjoy over ice!

Mix these ingredients together in a jar:

• 1 T white wine vinegar
• 1 1/2 t dijon mustard
• a bunch of chopped oregano
• salt & pepper

Whisk in:

• 4 T olive oil

Enjoy with greek salad – tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, cucumbers, lettuce, etc. YUM!
